- Networking and firewall configuration within libvirt
- Accessing libvirt remotely
- Overview of web-based frontends for libvirt
- Key highlights from recent KVM-related conferences
Bonus topics available in classroom sessions only (i.e., these are presented as short descriptions rather than live demonstrations in remote courses):
- Running Mac OS X in KVM (requires at least one participant to have a Mac with Linux installed)
- 3D graphics with VirGL
- 3D graphics with Intel GPUs (specifically Broadwell, Skylake, or early Kabylake families, i.e., 5th-7th generation; not later models) and igvtg, or the equivalent "mediated passthrough" for NVidia Quadro and Tesla cards
- Video card passthrough (requires a desktop setup with two video cards, preferably AMD)
- USB device pass-through
Requirements
Familiarity with general Linux command-line operations and a working knowledge of TCP/IP networking.
